Hot Chicks Included

Though Anna Kournikova was seen roaming around the players area at Crandon Park during the Sony Ericsson Open, she wasnt there to play tennis. Kournikovas career on the WTA has expired, but her athletic career continues. Today she joins fellow hot athletes Dara Torres (four-time Olympic swimmer) and Katya Myers (Ironwoman/model) to form the womens dream team at the first annual Nautica South Beach Triathlon. Participants will meet before dawn on South Beach to commence a half-mile swim, 18-mile bike ride, and four-mile run.
Nautica already holds a similar event in Malibu. We love the spirit and companionship among celebrities and competitors ... and were excited to bring it to Miami, says Denise Seegal, CEO and president of VF Sportswear, Inc. Adding to the fun, Rocco DiSpirito will compete, fulfilling the triathlon celebrity chef quota. The race begins at 7:15 a.m. at Lummus Park, at Eight Street and Ocean Drive, in Miami Beach. The fee is $85 for individual participants, $125 for three-person relay teams. Sign up for open registration at www.southbeachtri.com.
